Cyclomarin A was discovered by California Sea Grant researcher William Finical
from the Caribbean Sea Whip. The compound was found while Finical was searching
for potential natural products that might serve as alternatives to current drugs to which people were developing immunities. After studies on its biological activity, Cyclomarin A was found to be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, having the ability to inhibit edema and control pain similar to the drugs Indocin and Hydrocortisone.
